- BNWAS 150 System Overview The BNWAS 150 system is designed for use on a vessel’s navigation bridge. The remote alarm sounders cover key locations such as the officer cabins, mess area and ship’s office. Reset devices can be used on the bridge wings. The display control and monitoring equipment is to be installed in protected areas inside the bridge. Dormant Time This function is adjustable between 3-12 minutes in 1 minute increments only whilst in SETUP mode. Remote Resets BNWAS 150 has a reset mechanism which can be activated by a combination of reset pushbuttons and PIR motion detection sensors. Fail Alerts BNWAS 150 has alert messages for Tamper, Power and Battery. Tamper alert is also audible by means of an on-board buzzer within the display control unit. Emergency Call and Cabin Call BNWAS 150 has an Officer call configurable in up to 5 officer cabins within the menu. Power supply BNWAS 150 is powered by two separate 24 Volt supplies (main and backup) which will automatically switch to the backup supply in the event of a main supply failure. This will raise an alarm. Inputs from Valid Reset Devices & System Alarms BNWAS 150 provides additional Digital Inputs to accept signals from other devices and transfer alarms. An external equipment in alarm will send a digital input to the BNWAS and the source will be shown on LCD display. These might include RADAR or ECDIS. External valid reset inputs must be approved by the appropriate approval body before being used. AMI Marine (UK) Ltd will assist with recommendations wherever possible from previous experience but will not accept responsibility if not accepted. BNWAS 150 comprises: Hardware consisting of - Control display panel, interface unit, physical and sensory reset devices, alarm sounders and beacons. The BNWAS 150 Software Navigation Menu where the Master can configure and control the operational mode and parameters of the system. Overall Layout There are three areas within the vessel were the system and peripheral units are fitted:- Wheel house / Bridge Accommodation Areas Remote Locations

Wheel house / Bridge Equipment - Control display, Stage 1 Alarm sounders, Alarm Beacon, Directional PIR’s, and push button reset switches. Push buttons can be mounted on the Bridge wing, and are IP rated accordingly. Accommodation Decks Equipment - Stage 2 Alarms are located in the accommodation area. The system is configurable through the navigation menu, for five separate accommodation rooms, labelled: Cabin 1, Cabin 2, Cabin 3, Cabin 4, Cabin 5 - (Captain, Officer 1, 2, 3 and 4) The alarm sounders or sounder beacons can be used. Remote Locations Equipment - Stage 3 Alarms are located in remote locations which could include Officer’s mess, Office locations and Engine Control Room. They can be alarm sounders or sounder beacons.

RI-150 Illuminated Reset Pushbutton and RE-150 Illuminated Reset Pushbutton with Buzzer The RI-150 reset pushbutton unit can be used to reset the BNWAS system’s timer before or during the 1st stage alarm. The RE-150 unit performs the same function but also has an audible alarm making it ideal for use on the bridge wings.

SD-150 Alarm Sounder and SB-150 Sounder Beacon The SD-150 alarm sounders are used for the 2nd or 3rd stage alarms and have adjustable volume between 85 and 105dB. The SB-150 performs the same function but also has a highly visible LED indication.

- Maintenance guide The BNWAS 150 system requires periodic (annually) confirmation that all sensors are active, and conduct a full system integrity check. Any damaged/inactive peripherals MUST be replaced by a suitable spare part by an approved engineer. All cabling and interfaces should be re-checked to confirm system integrity and any damaged cables must be replaced/re-wired if required by an approved engineer. Any changes made above must be tested to confirm system operation. Any warranty void marks/visible tampering must be logged to prevent future disruption and system damage.
